Answer the survey online and submit it to find out your personality type. When taking the survey, it is best not to dwell on the questions but to follow your first instinct. Answer the following questions.
1) What is your personality type? What does each letter mean? List the strengths of each of your preferences.
ESFJ. My personality type is extraverted, sensing, feeling and judging. Being extraverted is good because socializing is an important life skill. Feeling is good because it shows that I’m am sympathetic.

2) Click on the two type descriptions for your personality and read them. Print out one of the personality summaries. Name 2 or 3 parts of your personality summary that stand out in your mind. Why are these parts most important to you?

3) Is your personality assessment accurate? Why or why not?
It’s too general to be accurate. I don’t believe that a survey can tell me my personality.

4) Which statements in the personality summary do you disagree with?
I agree that I am sesitive, in touch with my feelings.
5) Which parts are most accurate to you?
Extraverted and feeling are most accurate to me.

Martha Stewart
7) Find a partner you know fairly well. Exchange personality summaries. Below, write your partner’s name and personality type. Do you think that your partner’s summary is accurate? Why or why not?
My partner is Philip. My partners personality is ISFJ. He is mostly judgmental and introverted. I think it has some truth to it. He does like to be alone, but I don't know about judging.

One of Freud's major contributions to the field of psychology was his study of the unconscious. People often do not say what is on their mind, either because they are unwilling or because they are unable to do so. You will explore this theory in a series of tests at the Project Implicit site run by Harvard.
